If you have long names on a bar chart Y-Axis they get truncated. This is a problem if you have ones that start with something similar. Could we have a word wrap option on the format menu that takes advantage of the vertical space so the whole label can be shown.

All labels should have the option to word wrap.

Microsoft, why would it take you 6 years to implement this feature?

How much longer do we need to wait for a fix?

This request was merged with another specific to TreeMaps. Very frustrating to rarely have a label fit without the text being cut short when you have plenty of vertical space it could be wrapped into.

Please add this feature. Without it the export feature is less useful and we are still using other tools for our deliverables, sometimes duplicating effort to create them (e.g., one PowerPoint and one Power BI).

Please for the love of god I need this on decomposition trees, it's so close to being the perfect tool, there is so much screen space to wrap an extra row or two.

In the CHORD visual, only font size is adjustable for category labels. Please enable font type and text wrapping as well.
